Default Mark Akers Ornament Roughout

I have carved some of Mark's roughouts before, but this time I carved one using the squinting eyes. These ornaments sure are fun to carve! As you all may be able to tell, I have been doing a lot of carving lately and not a lot of posting. I've been a little under the weather for over a week and just now getting back to feeling like myself. If you get a chance, you should pick some of these up from Mark and give them a try. They are really fun to carve!

I thought I would try and give your ornament a little Wayne look to it....It seemed to work well, but I still like carvings with realistic eyes. Hopefully some others will be picking up some roughouts from you!

Merry Christmas!
Blake
